Product Information: Dual-Flush ToiletThe Dual-Flush Toilet is available in different models including ModernLife BTW, Veil BTW, Harken NBTW, and Brazn BTW IIIustrations. The product is designed and manufactured by Kohler Company, a trusted brand in the industry. The toilet is made of vitreous china material that requires careful handling to prevent breakage or chipping. The installation should be in accordance with AS/NZS3500.1, AS/NZS3500.2, and the Plumbing Code of Australia. The product comes with a floor fixing kit, which includes a bracket, anchor, washer, sleeve, and screw.

Product Usage Instructions:

  1. Before installation, carefully inspect the new toilet for any damage. If there is no supply shut-off valve below the cistern of the existing toilet, install one before installing the new toilet. Also, ensure sufficient backing behind the finished wall to provide a secure material for the anchoring devices.
  2. To install the pan, remove the existing toilet, sponge out all remaining water from the cistern, and disconnect the supply shut-off valve (if present). Place the connector onto the pan and position it between the outlet and waste pipe. Mark the positions of the floor-fixing kit holes using the template (if supplied).
  3. There are two methods for floor fixing. For Method 1 (with bracket), drill 10 mm fixing holes at the marked locations on the floor and insert the anchor. Place a washer onto each of the hexagon screws and insert them in the brackets. Fix the brackets to the floor. Position the toilet in the marked position, install the sleeves using screws, and fix the toilet to the brackets. Attach the caps to the screw heads. For Method 2 (with screw only), place the toilet into the desired position and place the protective plastic sleeve onto the drill bit. Using the anchoring holes in the toilet as your guide, drill 8 mm fixing holes in the floor. Place the anchors into the fixing holes through the toilet. Using the screws, fix the toilet to the floor. Attach the caps to the screw heads.
